For the next two weeks Kierra couldn't avoid Alex, he was everywhere she went. He never brought up the fact that a five-year-old made him weep to his knees, and Kierra never brought it up either. James always invited Alex over and left him trustfully in Kiera's care as if it was a reasonable thing to do, Kierra never questioned James intentions. Even though Alex wouldn't stop trying to impress her by flirting every chance he gets, Kierra felt like he was a stalker. She often spoke to Kelly about his attitude, but Kelly reassured her that the only reason he was everywhere was that he knew James. Kell wouldn't go into details when it came to Kierra's feeling on whether to leave James or date Alex. With every growing month, Kierra had more questions, as it was clear that Alex wanted to date her under James' nose, so she turned to kelly again. With every emotional issue, she always turned to Kelly; it was frustrating enough that she was in love with her, now she had to listen to her love stories as well and give her advice. Kelly knew that her job was to erase any suspicion directed at Alex; she had no choice to do as he instructed because he had her daughter.
Kc wasn't James daughter, she was Kelly's, and she was named after Kierra because of its no secret that kell was in love with her. Kell had to play by James rule, or her daughter would grow up to resent her for her past actions. Alex knew Kel's inner fear and used them as leverage to manipulate her. Kc was five so Kel knew that one day she would regain control of her life, but today she had to play the dotting best friends. Kell met Kierra every Thursday for a girls night, but the only thing she could think about was the rocky relationship that her stepbrother Alex had with James and how she was about to jeopardize her relationship with Kierra. James knew Alex, but he doesn't remember him. As kids, they were rivals, always trying to outdo each other, James would get the girls, and Alex would get bullied. Their parents knew each other and would let them play together, but as they grew older, James flourishes while Alex’s was heading down a darker path. James had everything, his parents, money, luxury, and Alex was the orphan known as the Nile. Their two worlds wouldn't match; they wouldn't be the same. Alex would ask for James help on occasion for protection around town because he was the muscle and everyone wanted to pick on the quiet kid. James had another agenda, being the most powerful kid in the city meant that he couldn't hang with James, so he would use him because he was the brain. Everything changed when they met Kierra. She was twelve, and they were thirty-two, they were young and stupid, and Everything remained a competition. James parents were lawyers to Kierra's parent's custody trial, Kierra was laying in a coma for three years after a fire engulfed their house. She was babysitting her siblings at the time when her mother should have been at home with them, And when She woke up, she was unable to remember those closest to her. What Kierra didn't know was that James and Alex both took turned watching over her, as they grew closer to her instead of the case that they were working on an intern working for James parents. They both fell in love with a little girl that they swore to protect; they knew that she was too young to date them, So they took a pact on never acting on their actions until she was of age and they waited for her to mature. The only thing that Alex wasn't aware of was that When Kierra woke up, James paid a nurse to report Alex as a sexual predator and ruined his life. He places irrefutable evidence at the hospital that she was kept and made him look guilty. Alex spends five years in jail As James climbed the ladder to success, leaving Alex behind imprisoned by his thoughts.

“Hey what are you doing.”

Said a voice bringing Kelly back to earth, she looked up seeing that it was kiera's. They were back at a party that she couldn't enjoy due to her betrayal.

“What do you mean.”

She answered trying to brush it off

“You're not here.”

Kierra Quickly replied

“Oh am sorry, any more drama for me.”

she exclaimed in a disconcern tone
